Explore Rochester Innovation

This week you'll explore Rochester's central city area, where you'll learn about some of the amazing inventions and companies that started here. You and your team (of up to five people) should meet at Aqueduct Park, alongside the Genesee River on Main Street (use the accompanying map to get directions there), and then text the word PTIFIRSTS to 728647 (SCVNGR). Or, if you prefer, you can use SCVNGR's mobile Web or iPhone application. The hunt takes most people between 45 and 60 minutes to complete.

Be sure to save the team code you receive when you begin. After you finish the hunt, make sure you've sent the required photo via email to pics@scvngr.com (include your pilot's 10-digit phone # in the subject line!). You and your team members will need to enter your team code on the submission page before 8 p.m. on Thursday. On Friday we'll check your photo, and assign your 250-point achievement if you finished the hunt.
